An efficient financing solution for leading tech companies with promising growth and value creation ahead of them. The model is based on senior-secured loans to technology companies in their growth stage, where the financing provided is tailor made to the company’s financial needs. Our loans enhance growth and minimize equity dilution for founders and management alike.
• In return for venture loans we receive a small equity kicker to compensate for their risk. It’s also why we genuinely care about our companies succeeding – we literally have a stake in their success. It’s a true partnership and we are with them for the long haul, even through challenging times.
• Compared to equity funding – venture debt incurs less dilution for the founders and it’s less expensive in the long run.
• Companies can use venture lending to bridge their way to the next round or to profitability, or to complete an equity financing round. They can also use venture lending to finance acquisitions, mergers and other expansion plans.
Revenue-stage technology companies across multiple sectors.
• High growth market
• Global orientation
• Strong technological IP
• Professional & experienced team
• Sufficient revenues that enables the company to bear a loan
• Substantial equity base
• Ability to provide collateral
• Attractive exit opportunity
We are looking for the most promising tech companies. We are focusing in companies in the most attractive areas in the technology space. We believe that the founders and the management team are the most important ingredient of a truly successful company.
Mezzanine lending is the smart financing choice for growth and expansion phases, M&A’s or leveraged buyouts of mature companies. They can strengthen debt capacity by providing additional capital beyond what a senior-secured lender is willing to provide.
In the distressed arm, we are focused on off-market distressed opportunities through partnerships with operational and management leaders with a proven track record in recovering industrial companies.
